Things seem to be going downhill, but superior subtitles was one of their big selling points.

I just about died when I saw that song choice. I’ve actually seen a recording of Stallman singing that song before. It was terrible and that’s what was running through my head as I read the lyrics.
- Comment on Is there a community dedicated to anime where sexualization of characters is minimum and strictly no sexualization of minors (or minor looking "adults")? 1 week ago:
That’s certainly true. I remember watching Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood with my roommates. It was their first anime. Nothing like that for dozens of episodes, and then suddenly Winrey’s taking her shirt off.

Exciting! Hopefully the delays gave them enough time to give this the care it deserves.

There’s plenty of great anime out there that isn’t shounen and doesn’t have fanservice though! Princess Jellyfish comes to mind, or City the Animation if you’d prefer something more recent.

A certain subset of anime fans would be very angry right now if they could read!

That’s great news! I remember it took Kaguya-sama: Love is War ages to get a full official translation, and The Legend of the Galactic Heroes/銀河英雄伝説 still doesn’t have one.
- Comment on [Rec] "REDLINE" is one of the best and bizarre animated movie I have ever seen. 1 week ago:
Redline is the movie that proved to me that an anime doesn’t need a super clever plot to be a 10/10 experience. What a blast.

I have good news for you: this may seem impossible, but you haven’t even gotten to the coolest part of Kill la Kill yet. The last third of that show is incredible.

I finished The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity today, and while I did like it I didn’t love it. It didn’t really feel like Waguri had a personality beyond being nice, smiling a lot, working hard, and liking Rintaro. I loved Rintaro’s parents and friends though.
- Comment on Crunchyroll Faces Cancelation: Why Anime Fans Are Choosing Piracy After Latest Update 2 weeks ago:
Closed captions and subtitles aren’t the same thing; closed captions specifically are made for people who can’t hear. That’s why they include things like “phone ringing”.

Well that was an extremely average episode to round out an extremely average show. I just about died from second-hand embarrassment though!
- Comment on First Season of Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans is now on YouTube 2 weeks ago:
I mean, there wasn’t even one attempted genocide! Have you seen Victory Gundam? IMO it’s a lot more bleak, though also not as good tbh so if you haven’t watched it don’t feel compelled to.
- Comment on First Season of Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans is now on YouTube 2 weeks ago:
You think so? Considering that it’s a Gundam show with such an edgy name it ended up being downright lighthearted compared to what I was expecting.
- Comment on First Season of Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans is now on YouTube 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s one of the better Gundam shows, and since it takes place in an alternate universe from most other Gundam stuff you can watch it without needing any context from other shows. Shame it’s only the first season, but maybe they’ll put Season 2 up later.

She had a bdsm dungeon she was going to “train” him in.
- Comment on James should have used his money 3 weeks ago:
It’s not so much that he’s been cut off as it is that he’s been avoiding his parents because the fiancee they’ve set up for him is terrifying.
- Comment on Summer Anime Season Wrap-up and Discussion Thread 3 weeks ago:
I know the name might make you think otherwise, but The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity is actually shounen!
Also, “enjoyable” sure is a way to describe Takopi. It was great, but I feel like my heart was in my stomach the whole way through. Maybe I’d enjoy it more on rewatch.
- Comment on Summer Anime Season Wrap-up and Discussion Thread 3 weeks ago:
Still watching:
- Dan Da Dan - I haven’t finished this yet because I’m watching with a friend. Anyways, 10/10 anime. They took what might be my least favorite fight in the manga (the music room) and turned it into something spectacular. The manga was already great, but I cannot imagine a better adaptation.
- Witch Watch - It’s fine. The comedy? Average. The fights? Average. The characters? Average. This one gets a 7.5/10 C grade from me.
- The Fragrant Flower Blooms With Dignity - What I’ve heard is that this story is generic but well-executed. I’m down for that. What I’ve seen so far seems to match up, though it’s just a tiny bit too “sweet” for my taste. Maybe bordering on saccharine, but I’ve only watched 3 episodes so I’ll give it a chance to further impress me before giving it a score.
Completed:
- City the Animation - Maybe Dan Da Dan will do something to change my mind, but this was the anime of the season for me. 10/10 perfect show. I was really happy to have something cheery and well-executed to turn towards with all the darkness in the world these days.
- Takopi’s Original Sin - This was another great adaptation of a great story. It wasn’t entirely without its flaws though, and it was kind of a hard watch. Still, 9/10 great anime.
- The Summer Hikaru Died - Not every day we get a horror anime that doesn’t suck, but this one was a lot of fun! Nothing like some doomed yaoi to spice things up! 9/10
- Milky☆Subway: The Galactic Limited Express - A neat piece of indie animation. Fun dialogue, was almost always able to make me laugh. 8/10
- Clevatess - It’s rare that we get a cool fantasy thing that has actual effort put into its worldbuilding. I enjoyed this one; 8/10.
- bâan: The Boundary of Adulthood - When Gigguk announced he was making this, all I could say was “of course it’s a fucking isekai”. TBF, it was better than at least 95% of isekai which makes it a slightly above average anime. 8/10
Dropped:
- Turkey! Time to Strike - The characters and story were all kinda boring. I didn’t find myself looking forward to watching it, so I stopped watching it. 7/10
- Nyaight of the Living Cat - I only watched 1 episode of this. The jokes were mostly funny and the voice acting seemed decent but it was barely animated. 6/10
Overall I had a good time. Looks like next season will be a bit more relaxed, so I look forward to catching up on some older stuff instead.
- Comment on [Episode] CITY THE ANIMATION - Episode 13 discussion 3 weeks ago:
My understanding is that the anime adopted the volume at a crazy pace, like one episode per volume or something. I wonder if the huge cast was easier to keep track of in the manga.
- Comment on [Episode] CITY THE ANIMATION - Episode 13 discussion 3 weeks ago:
That was incredible. I wasn’t completely sold on this show at first, but that was the second time in 13 episodes that it’s absolutely blown me away. I found the whole thing extremely charming. My only criticism is that it was difficult to keep track of that many characters in that much runtime.
- Comment on [Episode] The Summer Hikaru Died • Hikaru ga Shinda Natsu - Episode 12 discussion 3 weeks ago:
Good stuff, as always, I couldn’t help laughing when things got real on the train! I also really enjoyed that scene at the end with the sketchy dude grabbing their pool float for them. I’m curious to see what happens next, so maybe I’ll read the manga.

Pretty sure Patreon takes a lot less than 30%.

It’s worth mentioning that Studio Trigger has a patreon. I wish more studios would do this!

Interesting. I’ve only seen the TV series and I thought that was a mess.
- Comment on What are the visually-best anime you're seen? 4 weeks ago:
It’s crazy how good some of these studios have gotten at compositing 3d CGI models and effects with otherwise 2d-animated scenes. I don’t think something like Chainsaw Man or Demon Slayer would look nearly as good without these techniques.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
On the one hand, I know it’s unfair to say “I’d rather rewatch these two much shorter shows”. On the other hand, I don’t think Naruto manages to tell nearly as good of a story even with its hideously bloated runtime.
I think I might take the time I’m saving by not rewatching any of them and spend it finally watching Armored Trooper Votoms, Mushi-shi, and Inuyasha. Honestly Naruto is so damn long that barely puts a dent in it.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Nah, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood is actually that good.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Yeah but I’d rather rewatch Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen than Naruto.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Someone actually did, and I tried watching it, and it still somehow had bad pacing even with countless hours of runtime cut out.
